mhopton 807 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 How do all, I've a 170 light force lamp and running on a 12v 7.5 ah but I'm going through two on a good night ? They are new battery's but I'm looking at higher amp battery's maybe 17 or 22 amp so I'm just asking what you are all using thanks in advance mark Quote Link to post

jeppi26 1,855 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 22amp lithium I also av 2 7amp batterys wired together also dose the job but the lithium is better and lighter Quote Link to post
mhopton 807 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Right so wiring my two 7 amp battery's would give me 14amp power and how would this make it last longer on a night compared to using them separate as just 7 amp?? I had a deben battery pack a short time ago they where wired together ! Never understood why lol Quote Link to post
